Answer:
True : It is an example of a continuous variable
Explanation:
Numerical variables acn be classed as either being discrete or continuous based on whether the values in the data set are finite and countable or not.
Discrete variables are characterized by possessing a finite number of possible values which are countable and usually do not involve decimal numbers in between successive whole numbers.
On the other hand continuous variables are non finite and usually contains a lot of points in between possible whole numbers such as in the scenario above, the race time for the students take up any number within minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Hence, making the possible Numner of values impossible to predict or state.
